Beth and Tony

I met Beth and Tony last fall, which feels like an eternity ago, at a coffee shop. I knew when I met them that we would work wonderfully together, it really helps when you have clients that are super down to earth and incredibly kind. Well, two weekends was their big day; they had a beautiful, autumn wedding in Macomb, Mich. on a lush, green golf course. I love autumn weddings. I love the flowers, the colors, the colorful backdrop that nature provides, the crisp fall air (even though it got pretty cold while shooting outside) and so much more. Here are some teasers from their beautiful day...

Christmas Andrew

Monday I had the pleasure of working with my little pal Andrew, again. It's hard to believe that he's quickly getting closer to that one year mark. He's a lucky guy (and I'm a lucky gal) that he has a mama that wants his 1st year so well documented. This last shoot was based around a theme... Christmas. Ahhh, my favorite time of the year. Christmas lights, crackling fireplaces, sweet smelling evergreens... you name it, I like it; call me old fashioned. So, we had some fun. Andrew's mom set the scene with their fireplace and I brought a couple of props with me to give the shoot some holiday spirit. Enjoy some of the teasers...

Grayson the Great

My incredibly handsome and charming Godson Grayson was my latest toddler subject. He's getting so big and FEARLESS. This kid is all over the place - climbing, running, laughing, sliding - he's awesome. We spent some time at the Grosse Pointe Woods Park for his 1.5 year old pics. The water and boat background was especially fitting since he was wearing searsucker pants with anchors on them - what a little country clubber! Enjoy some of the teasers:

Ashley and Christopher

Last October I received an email from Ashley, who had met me at her friends wedding in 2009 that I shot, Jackie. Ashley must have really hit it off with Jackie's brother at her wedding, because she was now engaged to marry him. Funny thing is, I remembered both of them - Jackie's wedding was one you don't forget. In fact, it was the first wedding I had attended as a photographer and had cried at, which is always slightly embarrassing. It was an incredibly touching wedding. BUT, enough about Jackie's wedding - onto Ashley and Christopher's. What a kind, intelligent, patient and thoughtful couple. They look at each other with equally admiring eyes, which is always what a photographer hopes to see. The ceremony was beautiful, the reception was a riot - unfortunately the weather wasn't as cooperative as we hoped it would be. Luckily, we had a backup plan of going to Sommerset to take photos in the event of rain, which ended up turning out a lot better than I had anticipated. Check out some of the teasers from the day:
